Thanks for all the reviews.
Bittersweet World
Chapter 1
The turtles landed in a huge cloud of dust. They began to cough and choke for several seconds after the dust had subsided.
Leo was the first to recover; he stood up slowly and took in his surroundings. They were still in the lair…well, he assumed that it was the lair. It was in total ruin, dust lay thick everywhere, the railings were decayed and hanging limp. The pond had dried up completely and the place was devoid of furniture.
As Leo was busy marveling at the state of the lair, in a bad way ,the others got up and looked around as well.
"Whoa…what the shell…?" Mikey stated in awe.
He glanced over at his purple clad brother for answers but noticed that Don was extremely pale.
"Donnie, you okay?" he asked, concerned. Raph and Leo, who had been absorbed in their surroundings, turned at the question.
"I-I, its- this, I-…" He stuttered. "This is- it's… this is where I-I went…."
His two older brothers looked at him in confusion but Mikey had a look of sudden understanding. He'd clicked that this was where Donnie had gone what the ultimate ninja and ultimate Draco had sent them all over. He knew that something about this future had shaken his brother badly.
"This place…here? Is this where you went when we were separated?" he double checked
Slowly Donatello nodded.
"Ya gonna fill us in?" Asked Raph sounding annoyed.
Sighing, Donnie nodded and began explaining.
"Well, you know when the ultimate Draco…Ninja…sent us all too different dimensions and places?"
"Yeah, how could we forget." Agreed Leo, nodding.
"Well, this is where I went…it wasn't the …best experience I've had…here, Shredder, he, he was never defeated, he took over the world, enslaved the people….I'd disappeared 30 years ago and you guys had split up. Splinter he was- he was dead." Don chocked back a sob. "It's horrible…this is our dimension, our world in the future…" tears were flowing freely down his cheeks by this time. He sniffed and rubbed the tears out of his eyes.
"Wow…we didn't realize"
"Yeah…"
The four stood there in silence before Leo spoke.
"Well, um, maybe we should get going….try to get out of here or something…"
Without a word everyone headed towards the 'door', with Donnie in the lead since he'd been there before. In the warehouse, the conversation picked up again.
"So…what happened while you were here? If you don't mind telling us."
"It's alright, I'll tell you." Answered Don, somewhat reluctantly. "When I got here, I was attacked by the police, who worked for shredder. I was about to surrender when I saw the foot symbol on them. I would have probably been taken down, but someone saved me, once everyone had been defeated, I found out that it was one of you and what had all happened. I met the resistance fought shredder and went home." He finished the rest quickly, obviously leaving out most of the parts.
His brothers understood, that he just wasn't ready to talk yet so they dropped the subject.
When they arrived topside, everything was quiet.
Without warning, they were surrounded by foot police. Mikey gulped and went into a battle stance with his brothers.
The guards raised their weapons and were about to shoot when.-
Thwack!
Out cold.
Roundhouse kick, dragon punch, leap spin, block. A figure hidden in shadow began attacking the foot, and winning. It knocked the guns out of his opponents' hands, disarming them. Grabbing the discarded guns, it shot a couple down.
Donnie went white with shock.
"No…" he whispered, 'No…it can't be…he- you… he- died…!"
"Donnie! What's wrong?" asked Mikey urgently.
"I- they, he- died, the- they…shredder… he was killed- he, how-?"
The figure finished off the remaining Foot and started towards them, throwing the gun down on his way.
"So…this is becoming a habit of yours Don."
What did you think?
